387 Decisive Battle of the Jingshi (3)
At noon that day, Wang Heng, who was resting in his yamen, was awakened by the noise outside.
"What's going on? There are still people who dare to go to the yamen of the forbidden army to make noise, this is not to find death. Wang Hengzheng was sleeping soundly, and when he heard the commotion outside, he frowned and asked, "Who, what are you yelling about?" Hit it out! ”
A janissary came in and said, "General, it's the Xu family here." ”
"What Xu family? Hit it out. ”
Wang Heng yawned and waved his hand.
"General, it's the Xu family of the former Cao Guogong, they said that Miss Xu Yan was hidden by the general, and if the general doesn't see them, he will go to sue the emperor."
"Xu Yan?"
Wang Heng sobered up in an instant, what do you mean, Xu Yan is gone?
The person who came was Xu Yan's brother Xu Cheng, and when he saw Wang Heng, he directly asked loudly: "Wang Heng, where did you hide my sister?" ”
"Xu Yan? What's wrong with her? ”
"It's really like pretending, my sister hasn't seen her for three days, if you didn't hide her, where can she go?"
"Not at Gu Ti's house?"
"I just came from Gu Tixing, and said that I haven't seen my sister at all in the past few days, don't pretend, hurry up and hand over my sister, although our Xu family has been robbed of the title now, we can't be bullied casually, if you don't hand over my sister, I'd rather roll the nail board and go to Banzai to sue the emperor."
Wang Heng smiled, is this a threat to me?
He pointed to the gate and said, "Okay, go to the nail board, I'll go back to sleep." ”
said that he went to the couch and added: "It's good to go, don't send it." ”
Xu Cheng gritted his teeth in anger and strode forward. Grabbing Wang Heng's collar was about to swing his fist.
Wang Heng sneered: "Xu Cheng, you are not the prince of Cao Guo now, you have no position and no power, it is strange enough that you can make trouble with my Janissary Yamen, and you still want to do something to the imperial court officials, believe it or not, I will chop off your hand directly, without blinking your eyes." ”
Xu Cheng used to be just a gentleman in the capital, Wang Heng learned martial arts since he was a child, and followed Yu Shizhao to fight on the battlefield after the crusade against the army of King Qin, staring at Xu Cheng with a lot of anger in his eyes, Xu Cheng wanted to be tougher. But neither hands nor feet listened to the command. With a shake of his hand, he loosened Wang Heng's clothes.
Wang Heng directly took off his robe and directly called the forbidden army outside the door to burn it.
"You!"
Xu Chengqi's round eyes widened, but he didn't dare to speak.
"What? Is it my honor for a noble son to pull me by the collar of an upstart? Wang Heng sneered: "You wastes who have no power to restrain chickens, only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and I feel dirty when you touch me." ”
"Wang Heng. My father didn't allow you to communicate with Xu Yan at that time. But then I turned a blind eye to your interactions. Why should you be unforgiving? ”
"Your Xu family didn't just ground Xu Yan in the first place, right? tricked me into going to Xiangshan, let me get into a life lawsuit, how vicious my mind is. I haven't been concerned that I'm magnanimous, but that doesn't mean you can get an inch. ”
Xu Cheng knew that his family was not authentic, but fortunately, the emperor still looked at the face of the Queen Mother and did not continue to investigate the guilt of the Xu family. Now that Wang Heng asked him like this, Xu Cheng had no choice but to put on an honest face and whispered: "General Wang, I really have no way, my sister has not been seen for three days, and this matter is still hidden from my father and grandmother, Gu Tixing also said that he had not seen his sister in the past three days, and only asked General Wang not to remember the villain and let my sister go." ”
Wang Heng frowned: "What you said is true?" Xu Yan didn't return for three days? ”
"Really, I started to think that she lived in Gu Tixing's house, and I didn't care, she used to live in Gu Tixing's house, how do you know that this is not the case at all, could it be that General Wang really doesn't know where she is?"
"I don't know if I haven't seen her in days."
When Xu Cheng heard this, his expression changed greatly, from Fang Cai's righteous indignation to panic, and hurriedly stepped forward to say to Wang Heng again and again: "General Wang, for my sister and you...... For the sake of that friendship, please help me. ”
Wang Heng calmed down, and suddenly thought of what Liansheng encountered some time ago, and also felt that Xu Yan might have encountered something wrong, so he stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go to Dali Temple with you." ”
As he spoke, he strode out.
Xu Cheng saw that Wang Heng was not wearing a robe and hurriedly shouted: "General, you are not wearing a robe yet." ”
At this time, the guard standing at the door was still holding his robe, Wang Heng walked to the door and grabbed it, and put it on his body casually.
Xu Cheng saw that Wang Heng was really anxious at this time, and he had a slight affection for Wang Heng.
The two of them went straight to Dali Temple, Liansheng didn't speak when he saw them, and stared straight at Wang Heng: "Wang Heng, Xu Yan ......"
"I haven't seen Xu Yan for a few days, where else can she go in the capital, I suspect she is ......"
Wang Heng looked at Xu Cheng and was silent.
"What the hell is wrong with her, General Wang, you just say it."
"Xu Yan can have any enemies in the capital, suddenly disappeared, the possibility of being naughty is not very great, she is not such a foolish person, and there is no such thing as letting her take the initiative to hide during this time, the biggest possibility is that she was kidnapped."
"Tie ...... "Xu Cheng was stunned" ...... kidnapping is usually for money, why didn't the kidnapper contact me for a long time. ”
When Lian Sheng heard Wang Heng say this, he also understood in his heart, so he whispered in a comforting tone: "Young Master Xu, don't worry about it first, in fact, I was kidnapped some time ago, and I suspect that the same group of people did it." ”
"But why kidnap Xu Yan? This year, she has been following adults to investigate cases and patrol the world, but she is just a small character, who has a grudge against her, do you have to kidnap her? ”
Xu Cheng muttered to himself.
Lian Sheng looked at Wang Heng and felt that this thing was a bit strange.
It is excusable to kidnap yourself, that is, you need to use yourself to threaten Yu Shizhao, but what is the purpose of kidnapping Xu Yan?
Liansheng thought about it like this and said, "Not good! ”
"What's wrong?"
Wang Heng and Xu Cheng spoke in unison.
"The kidnapping of me is to threaten people, can kidnapping Xu Yan threaten you?"
Lian Sheng looked at Wang Heng.
"I can't." Wang Heng replied honestly: "I'm just a four-grade capital, I can't make decisions on major affairs in the court, even the Wang family, if it is to threaten me to kidnap her, it is estimated that I can only take my life." ”
Xu Cheng was angry and approving when he heard this, and he really couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
"Well, what's the use of your life? So Xu Yan's kidnapping is not the same thing as me being kidnapped. ”
That's the case, Xu Yan has no value of being kidnapped by King Qin and others.
Xu Cheng was stunned: "You said for a long time, then why did my sister disappear?" ”
"There is no hatred in this world for no reason, Xu Yan must have a reason for the accident, I need to know what she did before she disappeared, and the thing she did may be the main reason for her disappearance."
Wang Heng agreed with Liansheng's analysis, and nodded again and again: "Yes, we will now investigate what Xu Yan was doing before she disappeared." ”
Xu Cheng understood this time, and said to Liansheng: "Gu Tixing, you are the person my sister admires the most, and I count on everything to be punished." ”
"Xu Gongzi, don't worry, Xu Yan is my friend, I will naturally do my best." Lian Sheng sat down on the side of the bookcase and took out a pen and said, "Xu Gongzi, let's recall together what Xu Yan did that day." ”
Xu Cheng thought about it, but felt that his mind was a mess, and he didn't know where to start.
Liansheng comforted softly: "Xu Gongzi, don't worry, now you sit down, close your eyes, inhale as much as possible, and then exhale slowly, repeat this a few times to make your breathing soften, you are concentrating, thinking about when Xu Yan left home three days ago, what was she doing before, what's so strange?" ”
Xu Cheng took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes as Liansheng said.
The room was quiet, and Lian Sheng and Wang Heng were staring at Xu Cheng.
"I remember, the night before, she asked for wine and vinegar from the kitchen, and tinkered around the house, and I told her what she was doing, and I had never seen everyone fiddle with these things, and she said that I would know when the experiment was ready."
"Vinegar and wine!" Liansheng stood up excitedly: "I know what's going on. (To be continued......)
